There is a time for birth.

What is within you crying out to be birthed into the world right now? What talent do you have that is ready to be used? What project have you been endlessly thinking about that is ready to be birthed into physical reality? And what dreams do you have for this precious planet? God can help midwife your dreams.

When events happen which seem catastrophic, it is not only possible, but very important for you to allow yourself to come to a place of calmness.

Panicking serves no one - not yourself, not the people who are suffering, and not the planet. Allow yourself to trust that there is a larger purpose and that it may not be necessary for you to know that purpose at this time. Allow yourself to have faith that ultimately, all will be well.

When people tell you nice things, stop shrugging them off as if they are nothing.

The sincere compliments you receive are your jewels, - collect them in your heart, - they highlight the beauty of your being and empower you during challenging times. Never say 'oh, it's nothing' or shrug your shoulders when you hear a sincere compliment. Pause, breathe it in, and really feel its meaning.

When you do the right thing, it will feel good in your body.

Your body never lies. When you feel stress in your body, something is out of balance in your life. Restore the balance, and your body and spirit will reflect the rightness of your choice.

Working together is good.

We are meant to support one another in this world. Let go of the feeling that you have to do everything alone. Ask someone if they want to join you.

Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow.

Worrying, you get stuck going over the same things over and over again without making any progress. Instead, spend some time with nature to calm your mind and feed your soul.

You are commanded to love everyone, not condemn those who don't agree with you.

Your opinions are just that, - opinions, regardless of where you got them from. They are tiny, a speck compared to the immensity of God. You cannot possibly have even the faintest idea of what God commands to other people, to other lifeforms. Your only possible intelligent choice is to continuously open in love and acceptance. Today more than yesterday.

You are not meant for crawling, so don't.

You have wings. Learn to use them and fly. You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings.

You can conquer your fears.

When fear is holding you back, don't give up. Even the bravest people feel afraid. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the will to go on in spite of it.

Saturday, October 22, 2016

You can let loose!

It's been a while since you've planned something completely spontaneous. Today, do something fun and silly. Dance in the rain. Open a play-dough bakery. Have a dress-up party. Enjoy yourself!

Friday, October 21, 2016

You have so much to offer.

God knows exactly what He has placed inside of you. He has given you gifts/talents/passions...and if you follow Him, He will use you to make a difference. Don't overthink it. Don't get too busy. Invite God to use you, then walk through the open doors He provides...He will meet you there and He will use you to impact lives.

You need to maintain a balance between your needs and others' needs.

Yes, it's not an easy balance to keep, but try you must. Give too much, drain yourself, and there is nothing left only bitter space. Give too little, become a cork, and you block the flow of God's love through you. Keep on balancing.

Wednesday, October 19, 2016

You will find peace.

When your mind is caught in a storm, be as still as a lake. Cool the currents of your emotions with compassion and faith. The storm will pass - and your mind will settle.

You-dont-have-to-stay and respond-to-rude-remarks.

Don’t let the behavior of others disturb your peace. There are ways of discussing valid conflicts without being degrading or intentionally hurtful to another. Sometimes we have to choose the battles we fight because not all of them are worth fighting for. Being strong is standing up to people & taking care of yourself.

always-put-yourself-in-others-shoes.

Even if you put yourself in someone else’s shoes and it doesn’t hurt you, it might still be hurting them. We all have different thoughts, feelings, strengths, and thoughts towards different things. Human beings are the most selfish creatures. In my life I have learned not to judge, not to be selfish, appreciate everyone. Fear the Lord and you will overcome every obstacle coming your way. You never really know what the other person is going through. But trying to understand them is definitely the right step. They may be hurting but processing differently rather good or bad. They may not give a dam, and you may never know, but you may need to do what feels right for you. You can only work on you.

Before-getting-upset-always-ask-yourself

Remember – He who angers you, controls you. If it doesn’t matter a year from now, it doesn't matter at all. Stop letting people steal your joy!

FixYourEyesOnHim.

Our God is still immovable and unshakeable. Nothing can quench His beauty or darken His light. Nothing can steal His authority or silence His voice. He is powerful, mighty, loving, and fierce. He is captivating, inviting, holy, and true. Our God is everything we need and all we long for. Focus on Him today....draw near and remember all He is.

Generosity will make you rich.

The best thing to do if you're feeling poor is to give something away. Give a few dollars to a homeless person, some clothes to a thrift store or pay for the person behind you at the drive through. Instead of focusing on what you don't have, focus on what you do have and how you can bless others with it. Being able to give is a Divine gift in itself.

10 Things To Know About Dating A Woman Who Has Been Single For A Long-Ass Time.

1. She'll Sometimes Forget She's Not Flying Solo She may forget that she's part of the equation right now, and agree to help someone move without checking in with you. Being single for an extended period forms some very strong habits, and she's used to acting alone without giving a thought to anybody else. 2. She Can Do It Herself It's not that she doesn't think you're fully capable of helping her, it's just that she got used to doing everything, and that includes car repairs and the drip in the kitchen sink. 3. You Need To Take It Slow It isn't that she's not into you — she's just not looking for anyone to put a ring on it right now. Think of it as the opposite of needy. 4. She's Used To Having Things Her Way She's not against change — she just needs to ease into it. She'll see that your way of organizing the spice rack by flavors makes a kind of sense, and she may choose to adopt it. 5. You Wonder If You're Dating The Longtime Single Or Her Friends Every time you do something together, one or more of her friends comes along for the ride. Her friends are protective and don't want to see her get hurt. Once everyone is convinced you're not a lying, cheating jerk, you'll probably see less of the friends, aka the heart patrol. 6. Formerly Single People Need Their Space Don't be insulted if she doesn't need to see you all the time. She's used to spending a lot of time alone, and she needs that time to decompress and get her head on straight. 7. You May Have To Convince Her That You're For Real All that time being alone and observing other people's relationships may make her a little unsure that you really are into her. She's trying to figure your motives out, and make sure you don't want to just catch and release her as romantic sport. 8. She's Very Strong She may not be used to asking for or receiving help. Though she may not say it, she's grateful when you step in and lend a helping hand — just don't take over as if she's helpless. 9. She's Developed A Hard Protective Shell You'll get to know the many different aspects to her personality. Sure, she's super strong, but she can still be vulnerable and open. 10. You Might Get Crowded Out Of The Bed She's not used to sharing a bed, and may stretch out well onto your side You don't mind sleeping all curled up, do you? A woman who has been single for a long time, doesn't need you, but that isn't to say that she doesn't want or care for you. As time goes on, and your relationship starts to deepen, some of these walls will come down and you'll appreciate having such an independent woman in your life.

God accepts even the smallest offerings of your devotion with great love.

The size of your offering does not matter to God. It is the attitude with which the offering is made that matters.

God is crazy about you.

God sends you fresh flowers every spring, a breathtaking sunrise every morning. If God had a wallet, your picture would be in it. If God has a refrigerator, your childhood scribbles would be on it.

God Will Take Care Of Loose Ends.

Ever had one of those days where it would seem the things you planned to do, couldn’t get done? So, why are we still smiling today? Because we know that God is already working on tomorrow. Often we can get stressed out about things because we did not take it to God first. It's OK to be you in Christ Jesus. He will take care of the loose ends. I admit that I depend on God to take care of things that were not all impossible, but they just didn’t get done. Dependency on God is not a weakness. It is a strength! It’s good to depend on God for little things. The more we find ourselves talking to God about even the most insignificant things, the more we will begin to seek Him first in our daily walk. Walking and talking with Holy Father, throughout the day is the best kind of prayer. Prayer...the world's greatest social network! No data plan required and we have unlimited characters! OK - Letting God drive now! I only have a learners permit. Blessings!

If you know someone based on who they were a year ago

Believe in yourself and don’t fall into the trap of others judgment of who you were a year ago. Don’t involve yourself with their lack of respect. People who really know you don’t need a reintroduction. It is those that don’t see your potential, that doesn't deserve a reintroduction. Dead weight and waste of time continually proving & justifying yourself. End of discussion!

If you feel too busy, you are.

Give yourself permission to be un-busy. Give yourself an hour or a day to simply be. Allow yourself the luxury of a small retreat. Allow your spirit time to be restored. Even God took a day of rest.

It is okay to play!

When you work too much without interspersing some play into your day, you lose your vitality. Play keeps your heart light and your spirit lively.

Friday, October 7, 2016

It is very difficult to take care of others unless you have first taken care of yourself.

What do you need to do for yourself so that you can be available for others? What needs are going unmet? How can you be kind to yourself?

Blindness Etiquette: Navigating with a visually impaired friend:

1. Ask the person before helping, and take no for an answer if he or she refuses assistance. 2. If the person asks for guiding, don’t grab, push, or pull the person. Instead, let him or her take your arm. 3. Keep paths clear of obstacles, and close cupboard and closet doors. Stay to the right when walking. If you see an obstacle, alert the person and move around it.

It's important not to invalidate your feelings.

Your feelings are telling you something important. Do not rush to act on the first whim, take time to hear the full message.

It's okay to ask for help.

Sometimes we get overwhelmed with the details and complexities of our lives. Sometimes we need some help to get untangled, to gain a new perspective. Ask for help. Help may come in human or divine form. It may be seen or unseen. Ask, and ye shall receive.

Tuesday, October 4, 2016

It's time you let go.

Yes, of course, you want to control so everything happens in just the way you want it. But at the end of the day, we control nothing, - it's all in God's hands, - has always been, and will always be. So, do what you can, and then let go, and let God handle the rest.

Miracles aren't always big.

If you spend all your time looking for big miracles, you're likely to miss a lot of the little ones; finding your keys when you need them, getting the right medicine for an illness, arriving home safely. God is giving you little miracles all the time. The more you look for them, the more you will see.

Pain doesn't just show up in our lives for no reason.

Pain is an opportunity to change and to grow, and trying to avoid it is a headache, sooner or later it will catch you! There are different kinds of pain, emotional, physical, and psychological. Everyone deals with if differently. Don’t judge anyone because you really don’t know what kind of battle they are dealing with. We need to help others as much as we can, but walking and talking daily with God by your side is the real answer.

Someday-you-will-get-there-when-you-wanted-to-be.

We are always at the place we need to be. Maybe it feels good, maybe not. We all have paths to walk & lessons to learn. Maybe we just need to encounter or experience something to later be an asset & guiding light for someone else. The world does not revolve around us. We are here to learn & to teach & support others.
